Washi Tape Balloon Birthday Card

Posted 2014-02-09 by EricaLfollow
Decorative Japanese masking tape known as 'washi tape' is such a versatile craft material, and a very popular choice with today's crafters.

Here is a craft project suitable for 5-10's and up, using washi tape to make a balloon greetings card which could be for any type of celebration - birthday, new baby (pink or blue theme), passing exams etc.



Time: 30 minutes
Age: 5-10's, Over 10's, Parent craft
Level: Medium

Materials



  • Washi tape, at least two types
  • Blank greetings card
  • Black pen
  • Scissors
  • PVA glue
  • Cardboard (cereal box will do)
  • Ribbon bow (optional)


  • Method
  • Draw two balloon shapes with black pen onto the back of your cardboard



  • Peel and rip strips of washi tape, and layer on top of your balloons, it doesn't matter if you overlap the pen line - in fact it is better if you do



  • You should just about see your balloon pen line through your washi tape strips, trace over the top with your pen.



  • Cut your balloon shapes out with scissors



  • Glue in place on your greetings card, overlapping your balloons looks best
  • If you have them, (I had some in my craft supply) glue your ribbon bows to the bottom of your balloons



  • Draw a squiggly line for your balloon string
